is; a vacant seat due to expiry of tenure, resignation or death(this we
don't pray for but its reality). So if that is the case then the period
when a particular position is declared open will vary. This i guess will
make i difficult to default all election to just the second Afrinic meeting
which is usually within Oct/Nov

a neater way of doing things(although there may be no reason for some to
attend the first meeting since its all about nominating as from my
understanding, some actually attend Afrinic meetings solely because of the
election :), another angle to this is also the question of what happens
between May being the time of nomination and Nov the time of election. For
instance if there happen to be resignation/tenure expiration or death
within that period and a seat becomes open ;-)

This probably has to be spell out somewhere as i think people are probably
not participating in AFRINIC policy stuff because they think its solely for
AFRINIC good standing members only! OR is that the case?
